The Stolen Party By Lilliana Heker

Be a Good Sport and Accept Others “As I often say, we have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2016, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways. Though racism may be less blatant now in many cases, its existence is undeniable.”- Al Sharpton. Discrimination has been around for many generations, but now in modern days, discrimination has played a huge role in our society. Although discrimination isn't as bad as it was in 1964 where it was the time of segregation, discrimination still uses some violence around the world. For example the movement “blacklivesmatter” is a group that is protecting justices and freedom for black people. Discrimination is something that people should not spread because

In the story, Rosaura wants to attend Luciana’s birthday party, but Rosaura’s mother, Herminia, doesn't want to let her go because she knows what is going to happen if Rosaura attends the party. For example, Heker states “You are not a friend of Luciana because I’m her cousin and I know all her friends. And I don't know you.” This shows that the girl with the bow is telling Rosaura that she is not a friend of Luciana because she knows all of Luciana’s friends. Also since Luciana is rich and Rosaura is poor this separates them because they both come from different social class which apparently doesn't make them friends. The evidence “I know all her friends” suggest that Rosaura must be embarrassed to tell her cousin that Luciana is her friend because she’s poor and she doesn't want her cousin to know she is friends with a penniless girl. In addition, their friendship starts to question Rosaura and Luciana’s because it seems that Luciana doesn't consider Rosaura her friend since she didn't tell her cousin. There’s also a possibility where the girl with the bow could have been friends with Rosaura’s if she didn't “attack” her by saying “your not a friend of

In the short story, this young Jewish boy Yonatan decided to film a documentary by knocking on people's houses and asking them a question “ If you found a talking goldfish that granted you three wishes, what would you wish for ?” Until he came across this person’s house name Sergei, he didn't want to interview him, so this turned into a bad outcome. For example, Keret states “his father had been a zionist, which was pretty much an invitation for them to drop by any old time.” This reveals his father experiences affected Sergei because he's paranoid that the jews will come back. However, since Sergei had a ruinous experience with jews, Yoni was a jew and Sergei had a “fear” that Yoni would do something to him which convinced him to kill Yoni. Also Sergei’s negative judgement made him kill Yoni because he didn't give him a chance to express who he was and what he was doing. There could've been a possibility where Sergei could of gave Yoni a chance and let him ask him the question but he quickly judged him because he was Jewish, this would of led to a positive outcome. Another example, Keret states “ and its hard for him to follow; his Hebrew isn't so good.” This shows since they are from both different race they won't be able to understand each other because Yoni speaks Hebrew and Sergei speaks
